Not Super. Woman

If haven’t had the privilege to hear the defining chuckle from Australia’s most loved Comedian and TV/Radio presenter, Kate Langbroek, then you haven’t experienced the joy that her wondrous laugh can bring.

Listening to Kate over the many years that she has front lined the media industry has been a rollercoaster of life learnings and belly laughs, where she has incidentally shared by lived example of what it means to really live, how her family battled through their son Lewis’ cancer to come out the other side, and her quick witted ‘cut through the crap’ reminders of what is really important in life - cherishing family, having faith whether it’s through a religion or simply through believing in something greater than you, and finding the silver linings in life challenges, all the while maybe not even knowing the profound positive impact that Kate leaves in her wake.

So how does a women get to a place of such clarity when it comes to these values? And not lose sight of it in an industry that worships fame and fortune, only to stray true to family, community and her own developing version of faith as she dances through.

Bec and Zoe recap on the interview the week prior, the impact it’s had on them as individuals, and how they both drew different ideas from their guest and implement changes in the endeavour to change it up, or give it a go.

Then there is always a ramble involved (usually by Bec) where they chat about what’s been happening and how they have or haven’t managed their current juggle, in their attempt to not be super, but a woman.

There is nothing quite like reading a book you can’t put down.

The journey a story can take you on, the reflections you have when you immerse yourself in the characters shoes, the visceral feeling that occurs at a plot twist, and the satisfied yet sombre feeling you’re left with when it’s over.

Liane Moriarty has done that for millions of people all around the world.

More than 20 million copies of her books sold worldwide, more than 4 million copies in Australia alone. 9 books on the NY Times Best Sellers list, with 4 of them debuting at #1.

It’s safe to say Liane’s ability to use her imagination to write enthralling stories that creates a rollercoaster ride in reading form, is a unique gift that is intriguing for those that don’t have the same ability.

So, when given the opportunity to sit down with Liane, it’s a chance at insight into what makes her who she is. It’s clear that Liane’s lens on life is flourished with detail capturing the brightness of first glance, but also not looking away when it comes to the darkness of our shadows.

So, we ask the question has Liane always seen life through that lens?

Or is it a lens that enhanced as her writing has grown strength?

And how do you continue to focus on ideas that grow to stories, and not let the worlds fascination distract or detract from writing them?

There is no doubt that the cost of living has made actually living a stretch for the majority.

With scary statistics such as it’s currently 8.5 times the average income to buy a house in the Australian housing market, the average median earnings (according to The Australian Bureau of statistics) is approx $1,300 per week, yet the average cost of a standard supermarket shop has increased by 33% within the last 3 years.

So then add on the living expenses beyond a roof over your head, and food for nourishment such as social norms like gifts for special occasions, holiday events such as Easter or Christmas that usually include banquets and gifting gestures, clothing, or enjoying activities beyond work eg. Travel and entertainment.

So we decided to tackle the ‘B’ word - Budget - with our favourite Financial Guru - Rebecca Pritchard. Where do you start when it’s time to review what’s coming in and what’s going out? How do you decide where the money goes in order of priority?

And how do we prepare for the most expensive time of year - Christmas / Summer Holidays.

What has previously been a generally ignored stage in a woman’s life is now coming more and more to the forefront - peri-menopause and menopause, thanks to the committed work of incredible Doctors like Dr. Fatima Khan AKA The Menopause Specialist.

Dr. Khan not only has a profound understanding of the science, and medical cause and effect of menopause, but is also a woman that strongly advocates for this stage of a woman’s life to be more widely understood by society and our community because the ripple effects go well beyond the symptoms.

Statistics such as 1 in 10 women end up leaving their roles in the workforce because their symptoms from menopause become unmanageable, in-turn meaning the representation of women in senior management roles reduce, and the gap between men and women in leadership roles broadens.

There are so many more examples of these ripples effects, and when 50% of the world population will experience this which equates to 1 Billion women in 2025, it’s infuriating that it’s not more acknowledged.

But that being said, whilst Dr. Khan knows all the treatment options and supports women medically, it’s her understanding of what’s required in the holistic aspect that reminds us yet again, it’s taking the time to hit pause - review how you are feeling but also how you are living, for you and in-turn for your health.

Michael Wipfli, affectionately known as ‘Wippa’, is one of Australia’s favourite funny guys. Host of the incredibly popular Nova Breakfast radio show, TV Personality and a loved all round family man.  But whilst Wippa makes nearly every person he meets laugh with his quick wit and self-deprecating humour, and he has mastered the ability to create connection and bring joy, it doesn’t always mean that what is happening within, is the same as the light-heartedness that he projects. 

Michael has been brave enough to previously share his vulnerabilities publicly, including his uncomfortable early overnight development as a kid going through puberty and his mental health challenges as an adult. Now a husband and a father whose children will soon be entering into the next phase of their childhood, Michael is faced with supporting them through not only the highs and lows of adolescence that he once experienced, alongside the possibility that they may meet their own mental health challenges, but this time he knows it’s with the added pressure of social media. 

Spearheading and co-founding the issue at its core with 36 Months, a nation-wide petition to change policy and delay the age that kids can gain access to social media platforms by 36 months from 13 to 16 years old.  Michael and his co-founder Rob Galluzzo are determined to give kids the chance to manage those terrific, yet at times, terrifying years of puberty, back to families without the layered pressure of social media until their better equipped with the maturity that comes with age, to cope with the highs and lows that social media brings.
